Carburetor Conversion for a 98 CRV
Does anyone know of a company that makes or sells a complete conversion?
If not, then does anyone know of someone that has done one so that I can get some advice on how to do it and what parts to go with?
I want to get rid of the fuel injection system, computer and all and go old school with it. I know that may sound strange, but it is what it is.

you may have to fabricate an IM that could hold a regular carb,
it can be done, weve done it in one of our spare 4g63 engine so i dont
see why not in a b20.... just use those jdm carb as like what we did,
dual carb type like solex..keihin..etc! or you could use webber too if
you want! look for availability of parts in doing your conversion.. try
to see if you could mount a domestic carb so jettings and other parts
would be avail. locally...
good luck!

not sure if ive ever seen a b20 or even an ls motor with a carb!! maybe you could find a carb'd ls motor and use the manifold/carb....the distributor is an animal all in its own...not sure what your gonna do there.
i think he's just challenging himself....
most of the bored techs/mechs ive known had been looking into
ridiculous projects, its just to prove something...well if this happens
he really knows what he's doing....a lot of $$$ needs to be burned
into this kind of things...
G/L!

If its a 5 speed you could theoretically do it, you might have to fab up an IM though. If its an automatic its not going to happen, the ECU also controls the the transmission. I'm really not sure why you'd want carbs though, the CR-V already has one of the easiest MPFI setups to tune, not to mention that running carbs you're going to use more fuel to make less power.
If your looking for a carb'd AT ecu, get at me and I can get you one off a SM-X or CRV. If you want some pics of my d15b that is carb'd and fuel injected check out this link for some OEM inspiration.

But given that this CRV has an automatic transmission and from the information that I've gathered from others on this post I'm going to just stick with what I have.
Thanks for the help guys.
No, I'm not trying to "challenge" myself or anything as ridiculous as that. And I have nothing at all to "prove" to anyone. I just have a thing for carbs. They may not be as fuel efficient or create as much power as the latest greatest thing in fuel injection and I fully realize that.

anyway as i said before, we did a carb convertion into one of our
spare evo engines, its still running up to now.. we just challenged
our mechanic if he could do it since he's a carb guy too, old skool
if i may say..almost all of our slalom "toys" are still carburated....
this could have been a good project...

Ridiculous project???? Actually with a dual carb setup , you are looking at a minimum overall gain of 20% in power.. Yeah thats pretty dumb..
Here is a link I posted on a "How to".. Simple, and much less money than any other aftermarket upgrade for the power

Next time you post about things you really dont know about, maybe you should learn.
You must not be familiar with tuning and carbs because your entire statement is false... Alot of $$$????? How is that? Not running an ecu or stand alone ecu actually seems to save money to me..

first of all..idk if theres a mani maufacturer that already sells this conversion... im not trying
to be a smart ***, thats why i said i wanna hear more about his plans, hence the qoute of
$$$ involve..ridiculous is what i would call it coz we've done several carb conversion in
most of our toys back in my country so dont pun me on w/out having knowledge about this,
most of the carb conversion we did, theres no IM available aftermarket, we have to fabricate,
ive been around almost all my teen life around carburated cars, as for our slalom cars..
also i quoted, "he must know what he is doing.." coz most mechs/builders that had been
into tuning scene would sometimes think of this "ridiculous" things so as to challenge or
broaden what they have known....

**im not bragging bout anything but if you have more knowledge please do share....

just a thought. The 3rd gen accords had the a20a1 carb engine. Weber makes a kit for that motor (almost bought one when i had my 3rd gen accord). You might be able to use that carb if on the manifold shown above. Just a thought, i could be completely wrong,.
never mind, i just compared the intake mainfold gaskets for an A20a and a B20b, and the bolt pattern is completely different, so that idea wouldnt work. Sorry for the noobery.
